Justin Bieber has revealed he draws inspiration for his music from the highs and lows of his relationship with former girlfriend, Selena Gomez.

Justin Bieber, appearing on a radio show, has revealed he draws inspiration from his relationship with Selena Gomez. The 21-year-old was interviewed by Ryan Seacrest on his On Air show on Thursday (2nd April) and quizzed about his upcoming album and current relationship status.

Justin Bieber discussed the inspiration for his music in a recent interview.

Following his deadly ordeal of being put through the Twelve Labours by his father Zeus and his people, all Hercules wants from life is to rest quietly with a loving family. Unfortunately for him, now is not the time for resting as the gods have delivered another bout of chaos to the world. Being well known by all as a man with all the strength of a god, Hercules is forced to lead a battle against a new menace as the King of Thrace gets him and some like minded warriors to band together as the world's most formidable army. They must defeat a powerful rival general as the vicious descendents of Hades infect the land. It's a deadly mission, the minions of hell being immortal and ruthless, and their defeat can only be accomplished by someone with power above the mortal realm.

Hercules is a bitter and haunted demi-god filled with resentment for the people and the gods (including his father Zeus) who put him through the Twelve Labours; a series of arduous tasks that saw him dance with death on a number of occasions. Now, alone and with no family of any kind to turn to, his only comfort in the world is fighting to the death in battle, alongside a group of other like-minded warriors who similarly have nothing left to live for. However, they face a challenge of a more ominous kind when the King of Thrace enlists them to train up as the most formidable army ever created in a bid to overthrow a powerful general. This is a fight of a different kind for Hercules; he may have more strength than the average man, but just how far will that take him?

Dwayne Johnson stars as Hercules in the latest adaptation of the Greco-Roman myth. Based on the graphic novel 'Hercules: The Thracian Wars' by Steve Moore, the movie has been directed by Brett Ratner ('Rush Hour', 'X-Men: The Last Stand', 'Red Dragon') and written by Ryan Condal ('The Sixth Gun') and Evan Spiliotopoulos ('The Nutty Professor', 'Battle for Terra'). 'Hercules' is scheduled for UK cinematic release on August 8th 2014.

More details on the Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez break up are beginning to emerge, with a source close to both stars citing their hectic working schedules as the reason for the split. News of Justin and Selena's break up hit the web over the weekend, though they're understood to have gone their separate ways about a week ago.

An insider told E! News, "Because of their crazy schedules, it was getting harder and harder to maintain a relationship," which seems fair enough. Bieber has been touring almost nonstop over the past few years, while Gomez has also been busy with her various commitments. It hasn't stopped fans speculating as to other reasons for the break up and Bieber was spotted seeing The Lion King on Broadway this week with a group of friends that included Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin. Bieber and Gomez first went public with their romance in February 2011, attending the Vanity Fair Oscar party together, though Gomez began receiving hateful messages on Twitter almost immediately. "It hurts, it really does," she told Z100 radio in New York, "I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong. I've been best friends with him for a very long time. It does hurt my feelings a lot, but I try not to focus on it."

It's likely that further details on the split will emerge in the coming weeks. The Huffington Post certainly aren't convinced by the 'crazy schedules' line, cryptically tweeting, "We have a feeling there's more to Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber's breakup than meets the eye."
